30-12-2019 Another day and
then 2019 is history. Just quickly some news from the nearly
"old-year". On December 21 the 130th Winner Show
was organized, for the first time in 130 years it was named
Christmas Winner and Amsterdam was forced exchanged for Gorinchem.
We had Raffaele and Sebastiana along, there was Steef with
Ambrogio. Danish judge was impressed by Raffaele (Bes), she
repeated several times that she really was the best of the
day but was disappointed quite a bit that Bes was not handeld
well in the show ring... Fortunately she desided to award
Bes with Best Bitch, two Championship points and Bes, who
is indeed inexperienced at shows, obtain the title 2019 Winster.
Sebastiana won the title Veteran Winster 2019 and got Best
Veteran. Ambrogio got the Reserve CAC CACIB and got the two
shifted championship points. A great show day for us! We have

On December 11, our dear "Duffy" gave birth to her puppies.
Upcoming period we will try to post daily a report on the
web with some pictures. The puppy page is easily found under
PUPPY NEWS if you want
to take an instant look. At this moment we start up page PUPPY
NEWS but there are already
some other active pages with pictures and reports. Meanwhile,
we have called all the people who we had on our list. This
brought joy but also some disappointment because we had more
people on the list than we have puppies. In about two and
a half weeks "strangers" are welcome to visit our home. Then
it is done with our quiet time. We now ready to enjoy our
(read Duffy X Oren) babies.
17-11-2019
We have visit the veterinarian with our "Duffy"
Dama Bianca di Ala D'Oro to do an ultra sound to she if she
is carrying. We are very happy with the news that she is pregnant.
Around December 10, we expect puppies from her. From what
we saw in the ultra sound, a large litter is expected. Now
another few weeks of patience. Meanwhile, we take our preparations.
All aranged all our vacation and days off so that we will
be home all the time, until the puppy's are eight weeks old.
Of course, also this time we have made a puppy page. You
can visit the page, click here>>>
We will put our experiences and photo's at this puppy page,
to share with the rest of the World. In the picture you see
Duffy, photo made yesterday, she was 39 days pregnant and
must still maintain for about 24 days. We think Duffy shows
her pretty belly well.
23-10-2019 Last
weekend was the VISJ Fieldwork Contest. Edda da Dama di Ala
D'Oro had a great course and showed how good her nose is.
The point was neat, nothing to to criticize. Duffy Dama Bianca
di Ala D'Oro had a nice-course, she also came to point, her
bird took off because of a little too low head position in
this short grasslands, but happily it did not go on the wings.
She managed to secure the game eventually. The field judge
PA Gudmundsson thought Edda had a flawless turn and rewarded
her with the highest score, 10 points. She became the day
winner! Duffy got 9 points, she became 2nd of the day. Duffy
has obtain the club title VISJ Bello & Bravo 2019 she got
the highest combined points in show and trail. Besides Edda
and Duffy five of our dogs entered the field trail. Something
we are very proud of. Click

10-10-2019Our
"Duffy" Dama Bianca di Ala D'Oro is mated by "Oren"
Calabrone Aladoro. Click on the picture for more information
about this beautiful combination. If all goes well we know
about four weeks if Duffy is actually pregnant. For now it
looks good. Ten days ago we were with Oren, Brogio and Bess
to the veterinary practice in Enkhuizen to make HD and ED
photos. This week we got the good results and we are very
pleased and proud. We thank Veterinarian Lub for her expertise
and the high quality of the photos they always make. Also
a compliment to her husband who is her solid assistant in
radiography. We have more people to thank, also a big compliment
for a Kennel Club employee. "Bas" Sebastiana Bruna di Ala
D'Oro did not receive a message about her official Club Winner
title, which she won on 25 May 2019. Also we received no invitation
to the Top Dog of the Year Show 2019. After some research
by the friendly Kennel
Club employee, she found that
"Bas" results and official title were not at all submitted.
The Kennel Club empoyee did her very best to solf all the
mistakes made by the BIC. We are still waiting for a sincere
apology from the BIC secretary, but do not think it's coming.

Stephanie did so well in this test. Ambrogio "Brogio"

26-04-2019This month we
have been to Italy to take part in the show and field competition,
organized by the SABI. The SABI celebrates his seventieth
birthday. First, it seemed that by our work schedules we both
could not present, however with help from co workers changing
shifts I could go . Debby wanted to keep me company on this
trip. After to have picked up first Salvatore we went full
packed towards Tuscany. We had Sebastiana and Duffy registered
for both show and field contest. This was the third anniversary
of the SABI where we participated with our dogs. 1999, 2009
and now so 2019. Our two girls did just fine again this year.
Sebastiana was 2nd excellent in a well-stocked champion class.
Very proud of this result. The next day on the field contest
Duffy worked very sophisticated on a couple of partridges,
she pointed the female in the end nicely and neatly went down
on my command when the Partridge fly. The judge awarded her
for this wonderful work with a qualification, very good. With
this result she obtain 4th place in our battalion. And although
Sebastiana also did great and even fixated a couple beautiful
partridges, it was this time my error that a qualification
was lost. A learning moment... that sure will be included
in a next field trail. On 21 april we held our Ala D'Oro family
day. A super great day in Putten, soon on our page a photo
report of this lovely day. Are you curious about even more

15-02-2019The hustle and
bustle of working life makes that time flies. First a look
back by last January. At the begin of January we were invited
with Sebastiana to join the dog of the year Show. Unfortunately
we had to cancel at the last minute. The night before we went
to a restaurant and got food poisoning. We were really disapointed
that we could not make it. Now we must ensure that our Bass
gets another chance to represent herselves. We're going to
do our best to achieve that. 20 January we were present at
the hunting ability test, we saw some nice dogs working. Our
Bess and Brogio took home, with flying colors, their hunting
ability certificate. Brogio has also started his show career,
this young man has obtain his first point for the Dutch Youth
Championship. Well done Steef and Ambrogio! On 21 april this
year we organize an Ala D'Oro family day. All owners of an
Ala D'Oro have been invited by email. But if you did not get
a email with with a invitation, just let us know. We call
to the owners of an Ala D'Oro, to send beautiful pictures
